Sex robots have become a fast-growing field of development, with Abyss Creations’ ‘Harmony’ RealDoll among the most famous to date.

And now, it looks like Harmony is getting a sister.

On stage at CES for Engadget’s After Hours show, creator Matt McMullen debuted a new personality named Solana – simply by switching the sexbot’s life-like face for another.

McMullen also revealed he is working on developing male sex bots along with the potential for more gender variation beyond that, and cleared up some misconceptions about how the integration of male anatomy may come to fruition.

During an onstage interview with Engadget Editor-in-Chief Christopher Trout, McMullen explained that the sex robot’s face is designed for versatility.

‘The face is actually modular, the same way that within the app you can change the personality settings and create a separate profile and separate avatar, you’re able to remove and attach a different face to the same robot very easily,’ McMullen said.

But the process, while quick, is somewhat unsettling. With the face successfully changed out and a different color wig added, McMullen turned to the app and switched the personality, allowing ‘Solana’ to take over where Harmony had existed just minutes earlier

This last component, the creator noted, is just for the demonstration; owners of the RealDoll sexbot ‘probably wouldn’t have the clear top.’

During the demonstration, it was impossible not to notice that Harmony/Solana was missing something important – her entire body.

Without a body, the robotic head sat propped up on a thin stand, though it somehow still managed to show ample cleavage.

ABOUT THE HARMONY SEX ROBOT

Abyss Creations' Harmony RealDoll bot has 30 different faces to choose from, 16 body types, customizable breasts from AA to triple F, 19 different nipple types from 'perky' to 'puffy', and 11 different types of genitalia.

The robot has 18 different personality types from happy to sensual, shy to talkative.

The idea is that the sexbot heads can be added to existing RealDolls using an adapter, the creator explained during the onstage interview.

But, the firm is also working to develop new, heated bodies equipped with accelerometers and sensors that would allow them to respond to touches, and even move.

‘I’m pretty gung-ho now about getting movement, working on the neck down,’ McMullen said.

‘I’ve built a torso that moves and gyrates. I’m working on the arms as we speak.’

So far, McMullen says he has ordered enough parts to make about 20 of the bots – and already has ‘at least that many’ pre-orders.

By the time the dolls are ready to ship, there could also be a male version ready, McMullen told Trout.

And, while there has been much speculation recently about the inclusion of ‘bionic penises,’ McMullen says that isn’t quite the case.

‘I never said that,’ McMullen told Trout on the topic.

‘But yes, obviously the male robot would have the capability of having sexual parts attached to him’ similar to how the female bot does.

Instead of a vibrator-style appendage, McMullen said, ‘I’m thinking more something that would function the way the male anatomy functions would be really cool – actually able to be stimulated and become aroused.’
